Title: Immanence, Transcendence, and Cognition.
Authors: Hubbard, Timothy L.
Abstract: Similarities of immanence and transcendence perspectives regarding the presence of the sacred or divine in the natural world to several domains and topics in contemporary science are discussed. Parallels of immanence and transcendence perspectives in psychology (computer metaphor, embodied cognition, transpersonal psychology, different types of information processing, creativity) are noted. Trends to transform the transcendent into the immanent (mathematics, mind–body dualism, reductionism, artificial intelligence, noetic science and the paranormal, God-of-the-Gaps, elimination of mind) in science are identified, and responses to such trends (increased participation by the observer, extension of social cognition to the natural world, use of a cybernetic alternative, 4E cognition, re-enchantment of the natural world) are discussed. It is suggested that transformation of the transcendent into the immanent left the natural world meaningless and devoid of mind, detached observation is not necessarily an optimal scientific strategy, and a balance between immanence and transcendence perspectives is needed.
